Singapore Motorshow 2017 held in Suntec over the 14 and 15 Jan 2017 weekend was very nice. Packed with people looking for cars. Anyway, Mrupupup was thinking with the economy not so good, wonder why got so many people looking at cars. Never mind la, Mrupupup was also just 'looking' at cars. The highlight of the Singapore Motorshow 2017 would be Russell Swift doing car stunts. Very exciting show. Russell is the man for car stunts using Subaru Cars!

All thanks to the Science Centre. Got to experience Science Centre Singapore - Marvel's Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N new exhibition show, Snow City and Omni Theatre. Pretty fun thing to do on a weekend, Bring the kids, they would love the Science Centre! The Marvel exhibition is a great show. It has an interactive component, you can see many figures from Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America's movie stuff and much more. I totally enjoyed the exhibition and I got to fight the evil guys using the app. I was totally fascinated by the HULK show whereby he would get really angry and become a huge beast! The Iron Man interactive experience was cool whereby kids (and also adults) get to wear the Iron Man suite (interactive fun) and fight the bad guys! Shoot them down! Haha ! Other stuff Mrupupup went were the Snow City and the Omni Theatre, which were fun too! Marvel Avengers exhibtion till 30 March 2017, 10am to 6pm. Singapore Science Centre. $30 (Adult), $25 (for Singaporean and PRs

On a hot and humid evening in Singapore Sports Hub, the Sunwolves almost pulled off an upset win over the more experienced South Africa’s Stomers on 14 May 2016 in the Super Rugby League game. The Sunwolves wasted an 18-point lead when they lost to the Cheetahs at the same venue in   Singapore two months ago and the Singapore Sports Hub supporters feared another breakdown when Stormers scored a try off the back of a driving maul and also had the rugby conversion to reduce the margin to seven points with 20 minutes left of the game. The game was super exciting at the closing stages. South Africa’s Stormers’s Vincent Koch scored a late try in the last minute as the team came from 14 points down to manage a 17-17 draw against Super Rugby newcomers the Sunwolves at Singapore's National Stadium. The supporters were a bit disappointed that the Sunwolves did not get a win in Singapore which was the team’s second home ground, besides Tokyo. The Stormers extended their lead in the grou

Cherry blossoms in bloom right here in tropical Singapore – this unexpected sight is what visitors will get to see at Gardens by the Bay’s latest floral display, “Blossom Beats”. About half of these  sakura  trees have started to bloom in this experimental floral display, and blooming is expected to continue over the next one to two weeks.

Mrupupup attended the Arts Stage Singapore 2016 at Marina Bay Sands exhibition halls. The Art Stage Singapore 16 brought all the major galleries to show case their artists' work. The works of arts were really diverse and interesting. It was a great visual arts feast and this flagship event was the sixth edition.          There were works of arts from major countries like Japan, Indonesia, China, USA, Australia and etc. 173 galleries from 37 countries joined in this arts exhibition. However, there was a greater focus on South East Asian art. Well, the pieces could be really expensive like $200,000 for large Chinese man art to small pieces that costs $5000. Some of the pieces were thought provoking and stimulate Mrupupup's tiny brain cells. Mrupupup is not an artist but just interested in expanding the horizons of thought (Hope So!). The art exhibition was not cheap and costs $32 per person for entry and lasted four days in January 2016. Lucky got some kind sponsor for the entr

Commando Challenge run was not the normal type of 6km run. Commando Challenge was a tough run that involves clearing high walls, soaking through an ice pond, electrifying obstacles (with real voltage!), scaling curved walls while trying to complete a 6km run in Sentosa. Really tough run, definitely Mrupupup was super tired the next day after the run. Mrupupup finished the Commando Challenge - Haha, all the way.... yeah, go go go go ! Check out the photos of 2015 Commando Challenge held along Sentosa's Siloso and Tanjong beaches.  Good challenging run! Great fun and tough run - not the normal run. Need to train for it and also expensive at $85 per person for 6km. There was also a Extreme Commando Challenge - meaning two loops run and carrying a 15km bag along the way (really tougher!). In groups braving through the electric voltage wires for the final finish Watching people finish through the final stage of electric shock  Huge relief Yeah I complete the Cha
